Welcome to the March Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month, I chose to create/make Crochet Cactus Pillow since I've been inspired by all the many cacti I've posted on my Crochet Corner: Cactus board.

I liked that Maz Kwok used eyelash yarn to represent the cactus spines. I thought that was such a cool and fun idea. So when I created my cactus pillow, I decided to add some fun fur for the cactus spines.

I've set a goal to seriously destash my craft room. I recently discovered that I have 669 skeins of yarn and several pillow forms that I bought when Joann had a pillow sale. So for this pillow, I decided to use a bolster pillow form.

TOO *CUTE*!!Personally, I've never been a fan of eyelash yarn, but in this instance, it's perfect!BTW, *only* 669..? - Multiply that by 3 or 4 and you'll get my "stash"! Some people count sheep at night, I count balls of wool...;->

Thanks! Wow, you really have a lot of yarn! I have more than 669 now after a recent trip to a couple Michael's stores. I would have more also, but I got rid of some before we moved. I'm trying to down size my stash to have only yarn that I'm using for projects. That's going to take awhile! lol

The eyelash yarn is an excellent idea for the spines! I really like the colors you combined for this pillow - looks so natural. Pinned this pattern for later. Need to find me some of those bolster pillow forms.

I recently started a new link up on my EyeLoveKnots blog, and would love if you came to link up! This month, my cohost, Helena, is sponsoring the giveaway of two skeins of Cotton Fair Yarn.
